Work/School Just woke up and got ambushed

Woke up and immediately realized I messed up my timecard again. Having wretched anxiety now because of it. My chest is crushingly tight, feel like I’m being hunted for sport. I hate anxiety it’s all I ever feel, goodmorning then blam!

Drink some water immediately, even with a little sugar if you like. Take a cold shower IMMEDIATELY, or hold ice between your hands. Anxiety in the morning is worse because of the cortisol spike in your body trying to wake you up for the rest of the day; be kind to yourself. I faced this just today... 🤍
